Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of a vertical plane jet-plume in shallow water was investigated experimentally and analytically. The four distinct regions of flow are the jet-plume region, surface impingement region, internal hydraulic jump region and the stratified counterflow region. Only the first three were studied in detail. The experiments concentrated on the surface impingement and internal hydraulic jump regions. Velocity profiles and dye photographs were compiled for six runs. An additional 13 runs were done in which only dye photographs were taken. The velocity profiles and scale.data were then analyzed and plotted. The analytical portion of the study consisted of three parts. The first was the development of the plane jet-plume equations. The second part was a control volume type of analysis of the surface impingement region. This yielded an equation for the impingement depth of the surface layer. The third part was a momentum analysis of the internal hydraulic jump region. Two distinct equations were developed. The experimental data was compared to the predictions of the theoretical equations. The variations of the velocity and length scales were compared to the case of a plane non-buoyant surface discharge.
